Needs.

Established in 1924, Toastmasters International uses time-tested programs that are
continually updated to meet participants needs. Self-paced programs allow you to progress
as rapidly or gradually as your needs dictate.

The hands-on Communication and Leadership program provides the "how-to" and the practical
experience so critical to progress. Toastmasters Clubs meet at various locations in
the morning, at noon and in the evening. You'll be sure to find a Club that fits your
needs. The Toastmasters program is cost effective, especially when compared to seminars
charging hundreds of dollars per day. There is a one-time $20 new member fee and a
$36 annual membership fee every six months. Clubs may also assess local dues to cover
local expenses. An atmosphere of professional camaraderie makes your Toastmasters
Club a unique learning environment -- informal, yet dedicated to learning.

The Toastmasters program can be tailored to meet your personal objectives. Whether
you desire improvement in prepared or impromptu speaking, greater skill in the use
of visual aids, experience and knowledge is to be gained in the areas that most interest
you.

The Toastmasters program exposes each participant to a wide range of communication
experiences.

Each new Toastmaster receives a New Member Kit. The kit features a copy of the basic
Communication and Leadership manual, general orientation materials and information
regarding skill improvement in areas such as speech evaluation and the use of gestures.
The initial prepared speeches, as outlined in the basic Communication and Leadership
program manual, are designed with the new Toastmaster in mind. A variety of assigned
speeches help the participant develop competency in areas such as organization, voice
inflection and persuasiveness. During the meeting's Table Topics session, members
learn to think on their feet by delivering short impromptu speeches, lasting one to
two minutes. After giving a prepared speech, each Toastmaster receives a constructive
speech evaluation. This process recognizes speakers for their strengths and provides
valuable insight into problem areas.

Upon completion of the basic Communication and Leadership program, Toastmasters may
participate in the Advanced Communication and Leadership program. Participants may
choose from specific business oriented topics such as Speeches by Management and Technical
Presentations.

Workshop style Success/Leadership programs are also available, offering opportunities
for further skill development in areas such as leadership, public speaking and conducting
business meetings. These programs are especially effective as in-house training and
can be tailored to meet the needs of your company.
